Kulich is a traditional Russian Easter pastry symbolizing joy and the bright holiday. This version is made in a multicooker, making it especially soft and airy. The yeast dough with cream adds tenderness, while the combination of raisins, candied fruits, and cognac fills the kulich with a rich flavor and light fruity notes. The marshmallow glaze adds sweetness and softness, while freeze-dried berries provide a subtle tartness and vibrant decorative accent. This kulich is perfect for festive gatherings and pairs wonderfully with tea or coffee. It is tender, aromatic, with pleasant moisture inside—a true decoration for Easter.
